Si Tian Guan Chapter 4

    The young man was dressed in brocade, with a smile on his face, and he had an oppressive extravagance that made one dare not look at him.

    It makes people feel that even if this person does bad things, it is just a wayward joke, and it makes people hate it.

    Though the people in Qisheng Building didn't recognize him, they didn't dare to make trouble because of his style, and the manager stepped forward and responded: "Master Hui, Qisheng Building is catching the escaped. house slave."

    The servant next to the boy also listened to him and whispered a few words to him, as if he was explaining what was going on for him.

    The young man casually dismounted from the horse and watched the servants tie the man up with his hands tied up.

    Someone ripped off the veil covering the little slave's face, and put the drug-stained sweat towel on his nose and mouth.

    "Yes," the steward nodded: "Young master taught me yes."

    I don't know if he saw it wrong. When the thin domestic slave was carried away, he seemed to have been looking at him, and then slowly stopped struggling and closed his eyes.

    He looked at Xu for a moment, and stopped meddling: "Let's go."

    The manager gave a few nods, and was about to leave when someone asked, "What happened to that child just now?"

    "Young master has good eyesight," the steward replied diligently, "His eyes are natural and very rare. If you want to see this little monster, you can come to Qisheng Building another day and have a good tea. The wine is good, you can look at it however you want."

    Baishiyan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I know you are an iron rooster."

    "Nonsense," the young man raised his whip lightly and continued to walk forward: "If I am an iron rooster, can I still be slaughtered by you for so many years?"

    Baishiyan also rode a horse and followed him slowly: "Chongming, is this the first time you see the child just now?"

    Liu Chongming raised his eyebrows: "You know him?"

     "Not only do you know, it was a scene in the capital earlier, you haven't been to Qisheng Building..."

    Baishiyan stopped in time, regretting in his heart—the time Chongming went to Qisheng Building, they brought it, that is, that day, something happened to the Liu family.

    He glanced at Liu Chongming, seeing that there was no reaction, he continued.

    "I heard that this kid ran away every few minutes, making the chickens jump around. I haven't seen him for a while. I thought he was beaten to death long ago.

    Liu Chongming nodded in agreement: "After running so many times and still alive, it doesn't look like Du Quan's heart, it seems that he has some value?"

    "In the end, he is a businessman, and he has a bright mind in this regard." Baishiyan didn't know whether to praise him or hurt him: "The odd character in Qisheng Building was changed for him, and it was listed on the board. Gua, it is said that there is nothing that cannot be fulfilled."

    Liu Chongming sneered, noncommittal.

    Baishiyan knew his attitude towards this kind of thing, and smiled: "It's just fun, who would take it seriously, someone invited my father to drink a few years ago, and Shi Lei and I happened to follow, that time It was the first time I saw him in Qisheng Building."

    Liu Chongming was silent for a moment, then his attention turned: "Uncle has the patience to listen to these things?"

    "It's just for entertainment, what can I do if I'm impatient?

    "Eunuch Yu?" Liu Chongming slowly restrained his smile: "And then? A divination? What is the result?"

    This person is best at pleasing people, how can he invite his uncle to drink?

    "How can there be any result? Today in the world who doesn't know what is the most fun and the most profitable, just in this capital, I don't know how many people claim to be half-immortals, fortune-tellers, let alone fortune-telling That kid does look a little weird."

    Liu Chongming breathed a sigh of relief: "I have heard that Du Quan of Qisheng Building is greedy, and it is not unusual for him to do such a thing.

    "So Du Quan is a good person. He said in advance that if everything is safe and there are no major ups and downs, there will be no results."

    "I'm really smothered by lard, and everyone else is stupid?"

    "Isn't that true? I don't want to find someone smarter to lie to. Du Quan should learn from you." Baishiyan laughed: "That child is like a little mute. , will only shake his head, my father saw that he was so frightened that he was trembling, it was pitiful, and he even asked us to take him out to play."

    "Shi Lei should like it very much, he likes to play with the little guys."

    " He was afraid to raise his head, he didn't cry or laugh, he kept kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, he would only kowtow when he asked anything, which was very boring, and we never saw him again. It's his time."

    "Hmm." Liu Chongming deserved to be absent-minded.

    "Anything on your mind?" Bai Shiyan teased him: "Are you also active and planning to do some divination business?"

    Liu Chongming glanced at him: "The things of ghosts and gods cannot be trusted."

    Baishiyan laughed: "If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, why did you specifically ask me to go to the Nanlu Temple today?"

    "It is not credible, nor is it disrespectful," Liu Chongming smiled: "Shiyan, do you remember the dream I told you before?"

    "Is something wrong?" Bai Shiyan was stunned for a moment: "Is the amulet no longer working?"

    This cousin was seriously ill when he was a child. If it wasn't for the abbot of Nanlu Chanyuan who came to recite the sutras, he almost couldn't survive. Since then, the cousin would have the same dream again and again. With the amulet, it is slightly better.

    "En." Liu Chongming closed his eyes and slowly recalled that he remembered every detail of this dream, as real as if he had experienced it himself.

    "In my dream it was still in early April. I was in Jinxi Academy. I first came out of the library door, and then passed through the backing pavilion. There was a copper bell on the pavilion, and the begonias around it opened. It was in full bloom, and then I walked past the waterside pavilion, and finally walked to the corridor on the south side."

    Baishiyan has heard this dream more than once. They have all studied in Jinxi Academy. Chongming will even go back occasionally to help gentlemen manage their younger brothers and sisters.

    But in this dream, the corridor seems to have no end, and my cousin will keep walking, keep walking, until dawn and wake up.

    "But the situation in this dream was different. I kept walking forward and saw the corner of the corridor."

    Under the sun, Baishiyan felt a little cold: "Have you come to the end?"

     "Yes, not only did I come to the end, I also turned the corner and saw the second child of Yao Shilang's family and his accomplices bullying people."

    "Why dream of him?" Baishiyan was puzzled, but this dream was real enough. Yao Shilang's second son liked to bully honest children in the academy.

    "Who are they bullying?"

    Liu Chongming pondered for a while: "They ran away after seeing me, and indeed left a person kneeling on the ground, I seemed to call him."

    "Is that someone you know?"

    "No..." Liu Chongming shook his head, not quite sure: "I don't know the name in the dream, and I woke up before he looked up."

      longing for.

    Seeing that he was no longer speaking, Baishiyan whipped his horse lightly with a horse whip: "Go, go and ask the abbot."

    The South Road Temple is not far from the capital, the horses galloped past, and they arrived before noon, but unfortunately the abbot was in retreat, and they did not see anyone.

    When he came out of the mountain temple, Liu Chongming looked at the mountains in the distance for a long time.

    It is early spring, and the buds on the branches have not yet emerged, only the bare trunk can be seen.

      Can turn into a fire.

    The fire swept from a distance once again, burning all the way to the star-viewing pavilion below.

    There were chaotic footsteps again on the steps, as if many people were running up.

    This familiar situation is dizzying.

    Are Jingchen and Baishilei here? Are you going to be dragged to the streets again? I have to endure the endless torture again... but goodbye again...

    And then? Will he still be back in front of Pan Hyuk?

    Which picture is dreaming? Which one is true?

    In the semi-drowsy state, Qu Chenzhou hadn't figured out these things yet, when a ladle of cold water was splashed on his face, he gasped a few times, spat out the water in his mouth, and completely woke up.

      in a place he knows.

    This is the Qisheng Building.

    According to the old man, this place was originally a firewood house, but it always returned to the tide, so it was abandoned.

    He has been a regular here since childhood.

    Although he knew that the deed of prostitution was the handprint of his father's hand, he had nowhere else to go except home, that was the only place he could go back, where he tried everything he could to escape.

    It's a pity that he is too young to know where his home is. And his appearance is too obvious, everyone knows that this child belongs to Qisheng Building.

    Qu Shenzhou lowered his head and saw his feet off the ground.

    The shirt has been stripped, and he knows what will happen to him without looking up at the hands hanging from the top of his head by the thick hemp rope.

    "Little beast!" A loud shout sounded in front of him, and someone kicked his belly.

    Since he came to Qisheng Building, he has been handed over to Director Lin, and sometimes the punishment is still done by Director Lin himself.

    The person he relies most on is Steward Lin, but apart from Du Quan, the person he fears most is Steward Lin.

    While being dragged through the street, he saw the gray-haired butler Lin following him in the crowd, wiping tears secretly.

    Now that I can see him again, Qu Chenzhou is pleased and excited on the one hand, but confused and terrified on the other - whether it is the pain in the body or the person in front of him, it is so real.

    Is this not a dream? Don't you die?
